I'm sorry for asking a question that probably is already answered, but:

Could you please give me the exact Hdd space taken by the clean Fluxbox installation? Also what is recommended (for comfortable work, not minimal) amount of RAM required?

In Virtualbox 2.9 GB and it works fine with 256 MB set aside
I lowered to 183 MB and although it seemed to run fine I got some error closing down so 196 is perhaps the least I can recommend
However to install with 196 MB you need to create a swap file first as the live CD uses "a bit" more

Thanx for the info. Why does it seem to me that 2.9 GB is actually more then main edition of MInt?

Remember my figures are from Virtualbox - this may, or may not add to the size
